[ROM][Officiall][pdx203][12.1] LineageOS 19.1

[clfbbn]

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 11, which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. Linked below is a package that has come from another Android project that restore the Google parts. LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

All the source code for LineageOS is available in the LineageOS Github repo. And if you would like to contribute to LineageOS, please visit out Gerrit Code Review. You can also view the Changelog for a full list of changes & features.

Nice work! Thank you!
Should I "fastboot set_active a" before"fastboot flash boot boot.img"?

You can set the slot if you want, but honestly I don't think it is necessary.

There is a file with a suffix "_new", try that one. Flash it using lineage recovery.

Bug: Call Volume Change - Does not work for now

I think I have fixed other bugs.

Well I have found a significant bug that's going to prevent daily use. In-call microphone doesn't work at all, even on speakerphone. Using the recorder app, I can pick up audio but it is very very quiet. Everything else seems to work well so far, though, besides the in-call audio fixed max volume.

I am on the XQ-AT51, and have flashed MindTheGapps provided by LineageOS

Are you using the latest build? I think I have fixed issues regarding the call volume.

The microphone in the recorder app is quite, I can confirm it, though.

I used 20220922 rom，but I can't use usb for transfer，only can charge。。。。

This is a known issue. Will be fixed along with the microphone problem.

You can try adb push as a workaround for now

Just installed LOS 19.1 on my Xperia XZ1 Compact, and really miss the WireGuard kernel feature on my Xperia 1 II, where I can have multiple tunnels active at the same time. Do you have any plans to add the WireGuard kernel module in a future release?

Anyways, great release! I have not personally encountered any bugs/issues yet. I use microG Installer Revived (with whew-inc's FakeGApps fork and, LSPosed Framework), Universal SafetyNet Fix, and MagiskHide Props Config with the bundled Xperia 5 II build fingerprint to fully pass a SafetyNet Attestation Check.

Thanks for the report. Since I haven't used wireguard before, can you detail the information that can show whether this module is present in kernel or not?

When you enter settings in the WireGuard app, it will ask for root access to enable more features via the kernel module. Also if you run ls /sys/module/ | grep wireguard in a root terminal it will return wireguard.

I am not very well versed with Android kernel development but it seems as though the latest android-4.19-stable merge into the sony_sm8250 kernel tree happened before Google merged WireGuard into the android-4.19-stable kernel tree, and the sony_sm8250 kernel tree does not seem to have been updated since; thus /drivers/net/wireguard/ is missing, and gki_defconfig does not contain CONFIG_WIREGUARD=y.

The driver is there, see https://github.com/hellobbn/android_kernel_sony_sm8250/tree/lineage-19.1_new/drivers/net/wireguard

I have enabled the wireguard in my latest build, and you can try that out.

That said, not all upstream changes have been backported.

Ignorant me did not think about there being multiple branches.

With the latest build the WireGuard app asks for root and all the features of the kernel module backend seem to work.

Dear dev, I have flashed lineage-os-19.1-2022-0718, but dual sim not work

Thanks, I can confirm this problem. Will look into it.

EDIT: Could be expected behavior if you first boot the rom with single SIM and then insert the other card.

Temp Solution (After each boot):

1. Enable Root Debugging in Developer Options
2. Enter adb shell:

adb root
adb shell

3. Type the following command:

/odm/bin/sony_ext_uim_ctrl

EDIT2: The next release will fix this problem.

thanks for your reply bro, should we set 1 to the /sys/class/devices/sony_ext_uim_ctrl/sony_ext_uim_ctrl_type ?
I tested it on your latest lineage os 19.1 build, dual sim works well now. thank you !

 

[RealNoobKanger]

thanks for your reply bro, did you means write 1 to the /sys/class/devices/sony_ext_uim_ctrl/sony_ext_uim_ctrl_type ?
I tested it on your latest build, dual sim works well now, should we add to the init to set " /sys/class/devices/sony_ext_uim_ctrl/sony_ext_uim_ctrl_type" when device use dual sim (aka. dsds)

I set the "/sys/class/devices/sony_ext_uim_ctrl/sony_ext_uim_ctrl_type" to 1 on my device with your lineage os build, ril works well not only dual sim but single sim (ss). should we set this value to "1" defaultly ?
No matter what, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your good rom, device tree and kernel source !

Maybe this is related to SD card / SIM card detection, so I am not sure whether SD card will work properly if we set this always to be 1.

The exec file "/odm/bin/sony_ext_uim_ctrl" should take care of this. I forgot to label this exec file so it does not get executed when system boots, which causes the second sim not being detected. I have corrected that mistake now. If you are interested: https://github.com/hellobbn/android...mmit/68b69ac284cf3e4abe5464a2a70f37701581060f
